A corded trimmer with the power of a lawn mower
The Ryobi RBC-1226I corded trimmer is quite a “serious” device by the standards of household gardening equipment designed for lawn care and green spaces. It is equipped with a fairly powerful 1200-watt electric motor (the motor is located on the top, like in gasoline lawn mowers). Therefore, the trimmer confidently mows lawn grass and herbs, no matter how thick the grass cover is. And for clearing thickets, instead of a spool with fishing line, a steel three-bladed knife is installed, which is included in the kit, and you can safely go into battle against weeds with thick stems and shrubs. The trimmer grip width (38 cm) is quite comparable to the diameter of a typical corded lawn mower rotor blade, so the Ryobi RBC-1226I is not inferior to its four-wheeled “colleagues” in terms of productivity.
Design features and nuances of operation
The trimmer is equipped with a semi-automatic spool (to release the fishing line, it is easy enough to hit the ground). The saw fittings can be changed easily and quickly with the help of the supplied wrenches. The protective casing has a collapsible design and consists of two parts (when working with a fishing line and a knife, different protection configurations are used). The straight stem also splits into two parts so that the tool takes up less storage space.
It should be noted that the ergonomics of the trimmer is not designed for people of great stature. Many users report that the adjustment range of the front D-handle and the length of the shoulder strap make tall people work in a slightly crouched position. Therefore, if you are over 180 cm tall, look for another lawn care tool.
Room for tuning and transformations
An interesting feature of this trimmer is its compatibility with a variety of Expand-It nozzles, which are manufactured by Ryobi. The bar is dismantled, and instead of the front part (trimmer), another tool is installed: a brush cutter, a pole cutter, an extension cord, a blower or a mini-cultivator. That is, the trimmer serves as a universal “base”, which, with the help of interchangeable accessories, can turn into a variety of types of tools and garden equipment. But it should be noted that Expand-It nozzles for Ryobi RBC-1226I are not often found in online stores, and their price is slightly “biting”.
